How's it goin', deviant peeps?!

I'm pretty excited about the new book I'm pencilling, coming out through Image Comics, MIND THE GAP!
Here is the first issue's solicit:

MIND THE GAP #1
story JIM McCANN
art / cover RODIN ESQUEJO & SONIA OBACK
variant cover RODIN ESQUEJO & SONIA OBACK
MAY 2
48 PAGES / FC / T+
$2.99
After Elle Peterssen is mysteriously attacked on a Manhattan subway platform, she is left in a coma, the only clues to her attacker trapped inside her mind. No one knows the identity of the person behind this brutal beating or where they will strike next. In this ALL-NEW ONGOING series, everyone is suspect, and no one is innocent. USAToday calls it an "anxiously anticipated modern thriller…Whodunit? McCann's done it again."
Eisner-winning writer JIM McCANN joins RODIN ESQUEJO (MORNING GLORIES) and SONIA OBACK (S.H.I.E.L.D., The Defenders) for a psychological thriller that will leave you guessing at every turn!


I get to work with the amazing team of Jim McCann on story, Sonia Oback on colors, Dave Lanphear on letters, and Damien Lucchese on design.

The 9 page prologue is out there on the various comics news sites. Here's one: [link]
And there are various interviews around the web with Jim, who far better articulates what the book is all about.

The first issue hits stores MAY 2 (though possibly delayed in the east coast by a week)! Hopefully you guys will check it out and buy it if you like what you see. It's 48 pages for just $2.99!


Now, signings!

Morning Glories is the first comic that got me into the medium of comics, and now I have fallen in love with the form. I eagerly await Morning Glories every month (and the covers are breathtakingly gorgeous) and now to add to my list of monthly must haves there is MIND THE GAP. Issue one and I'm already obsessed. Such talent! Before getting into comics I always thought that I would have a hard time focusing on the art, but it's impossible not to be transfixed on your work. Thank you!

Rodinnnnnnn. I was just wondering. I heard something about Nick Spencer and the team wanting to get up to like Issue 90 or 100 with Morning Glories. I was just curious if you'll be continuing to do covers for the series?

I really adore your style... the clean, powerful lines, and the amazing depth, the dimensionality, which makes your images look realer than real.

Great work, wonderful gallery!
